The ancient Celt craftsmen used silver, gold and bronze to craft beautifully designed jewellery. The Celts took inspiration from nature in the designing of their jewellery. Celtic jewellery is only rivaled by the Egyptian jewellery which is another popularly liked ancient style of jewellery. Inspired by nature the craftsmen design intricately designed Celtic jewellery with beautiful knot-work and spiral designs. The Celtic jewellery has been dated as early as 2000 BC to the 500 AD where the Celts were rulers in older Europe. Now they are settled in Ireland and Scotland. Today all over the Mediterranean the Celtic jewellery is traded due to its remarkable craftsmanship and beauty.

The different Celtic symbols have meanings that have changed over time, because as time has progressed the 2000 BC old symbols have also changed in their meaning, or much rather their meaning have evolved. The Celtic
jewellery designs were also created by craftsmen in different contexts, and that has also been the reason for the different meaning that some symbols hold.

Celtic jewellery is so interesting and liked by many people due to the link it creates to the history that dates backs to thousands of years. It is not just history full of myths, but a living history of a tribe of barbarians called the Celts.

Today there are almost no existing manuscripts that would define the meaning of the thousands of years old symbols engraved on Celtic jewellery. The written history of Celts is very less, and the hard facts of the meaning of the symbols that most people are interested in finding out are left to our own reasoning. Therefore, many of the meaning have been derived and passed through generations. The attractiveness for people of Celtic jewellery is not actually understood, but man holds a love for unique innovative items with an attachment in history.
